Chapter 214: Ruins
Before the Apocalypse, humanity had launched a massive effort to search for these ruins, but they came up empty-handed.
Only the first group of people who entered the ruins had obtained some technology from inside, including the technology to create synthetic monsters and mechs. According to those who had entered at the time, there were still many large areas inside, but they were very dangerous.
"What's inside?" Su Chen asked coldly.
The middle-aged man replied woodenly, "It's a very peculiar building, estimated to be several hundred square kilometers in size. There are traps in some places, and at the end of the roads there are laboratories with various technologies, including what appears to be a recording left behind by a prehistoric civilization."
Su Chen's expression changed at the mention of a recording left behind by a prehistoric civilization.
"What's on the recording?"
"I don't know. At the time, I was just an insignificant minor character. Only a few people knew what was on the recording, and it was sent out immediately. I don't know where it went."
Su Chen sighed slightly. It would be great if he could find out what was on that recording. It seemed that someone had known about the existence of prehistoric civilization before the Apocalypse, but he had not heard any relevant news about it until now. It was clearly a secret.
From this man's mouth, Su Chen learned the location of the ruins, which was in an old forest in the mountains. It was apparently a popular scenic area before the Apocalypse, but at this point, who had the time or inclination for tourism?
Su Chen released his mental control, and the man and woman immediately woke up, looking at Su Chen with frightened eyes.
When he had controlled their minds earlier, Su Chen had not shielded their consciousness, which meant that they were fully aware of what had just happened.
"Who... who are you, and how can you be so good at hypnosis?" the middle-aged man asked Su Chen in disbelief.
They had been living in an underground base, cut off from the world, completely unaware of what was happening outside, and they did not know about the existence of Transcendents.
"This isn't hypnosis. It looks like I need to give you some basic knowledge," Su Chen said bluntly, and he directly infused some common knowledge about the Apocalypse into their minds, causing them to scream in pain.
This was Su Chen's own knowledge, and he had never used mental techniques before, let alone copied and pasted this kind of knowledge directly into someone else's mind. It seemed that other people would experience severe pain as a result, so he made a mental note of that.
After a while, the two of them stood up, sweating profusely, their eyes full of shock as they looked at Su Chen.
They had suddenly acquired new knowledge in their minds, and they learned that the world had changed beyond recognition. "The Apocalypse has come, and Mutant Beasts are rampant. It's unbelievable that even modern weapons are no match for these Mutant Beasts, and now humanity can only barely survive," the middle-aged man murmured.
He could not imagine that humans were originally the masters of this earth, but thirty years had passed, and humanity could only barely survive. The contrast was too great.
The young woman, although shocked, was not as affected as the middle-aged man. After all, she was born and raised in the base, and all she knew was the base. She had only learned about the outside world through information.
But what she never expected was that when she came out, even the world she knew had changed, becoming a world controlled by Mutant Beasts.
"Now you are my people. I let you stay here before, and you should know what I mean. Don't talk nonsense. You can start your Miner career later."
Su Chen had no intention of recruiting these three people. He already had plenty of Engineers on hand, not to mention Yun Ru, a super scientist. He wouldn't want three people who had spent decades and couldn't even understand mech technology.
Without giving the three a chance to speak, Su Chen left, and what awaited them was the day they became Miners.
Su Chen returned to the command room, opened the satellite map, and found the location of the ruins.
"Hmm, the ruins are closest to Sub-Base 47. Let's teleport there first."
In just the blink of an eye, Su Chen appeared at Sub-Base 47, which was in the Western part of the human territory, surrounded by many mountains and rivers. There used to be a large number of Mutant Beasts here, but now the number of Mutant Beasts was reduced, and even their strength was weak.
Thanks to Su Chen's Transcendent potion, not everyone was a Transcendent, but about 80% of people had become Transcendents.
Even if they were only first-tier Transcendents, with the weapons sold by Su Chen, they were not afraid of second-tier Mutant Beasts.
The Red Flag had a rule that if anyone used their weapons against humans, they would be forever blacklisted, and the Red Alert Base would personally deal with them!
This had never happened before, but just as Su Chen had arrived at Sub-Base 47, a voice rang out, "Commander, there has been a murder case in Baiyun City, and the killer used the weapon we sold. The suspect is currently on the run. Please advise, Commander."
Su Chen rubbed his chin. "There will always be a second time when something happens for the first time. Catch that person first, regardless of the situation, put their name on the blacklist, and handle it according to human law."
"Yes."
The Red Alert Base closest to Baiyun City dispatched the SEAL team, who rode in armed helicopters, followed the guidance of the mind detector, and went to apprehend the suspect.
White Emperor in Baiyun City knew about this and was involved with the Red Alert Base. He didn't dare to be careless and immediately sent someone to handle the situation.
"I knew this day would come. I wonder how Su Chen will handle it." White Emperor thought. With so many weapons, it was natural that problems would arise.
Despite the threat of Mutant Beasts, there were still a large number of people dying at the hands of their own kind every day. This was unavoidable. Once there were more people, there would always be various ideas. This was human nature.
The weapons sold by the Red Flag had even greater power, and if someone relied on these weapons to do wrong, it was easy for problems to arise.
If the first incident was not handled properly, there would only be more incidents in the future.
What intrigued White Emperor the most was how Su Chen would apprehend the suspect who had escaped.
After all, although this person's strength was only third-tier, he was skilled in wilderness survival and had once spent seven days outside alone. If they couldn't catch him, it would be interesting.
If White Emperor knew that Su Chen had sent out a powerful SEAL team, he probably wouldn't have had these unnecessary worries.
